Got a pair of Pearl Izumi bib-shorts and one thing is certain US rider must be enormously fat!2XL was really tight in the elastic and from there they just funneled up to being the widest pant I'veever seen, seriously.Normally I use 3XL in Santini or VGL in Assos and they are tight fit all over.They were not in "Roubaix" anyway, some other heavier and not so pleasant to touch material.Assos on the way.

If you're used to Etxe-ondo and Assos sizing, you'll find the north american stuff to be a whole lot different in terms of sizing.lol Funny though, I find Castelli to fit more like north american stuff. Maybe it's just me though.

I almost never use my bib tights anymore with the combination of thermal bibs and leg warmers. That combination is much more flexible and comfortable, yet still warm down to subfreezing temps. Bib tights always feel so restrictive to me. I use Specialized and Assos leg warmers, have a variety of knee warmers including Castelli Nanoflex, Pearl Izumi, etc. No real preference. I have found the bibs to be a bit more variable. A Louis Garneau pair is my favorite - nicely compressive, warm, sheds water a bit, yet flexible stretchy fabric. A Capo pair and a Castelli Claudio pair are both equal in my eyes: warm but less stretchy fabric than the LG bibs.
